		The County of Bell is one of thirty-three counties carved out of Milam County.
		The population steadily increased to the point that area citizens began to petition the state to form a new county; traveling to Cameron, the county seat of Milam, to conduct legal business was an unnecessary burden if a county seat could be situated closer to home.
		Although efforts to create a new county dated to 1848 (which would have been named Clear Water County), the new county was officially signed into creation on 22 January 1850, and was named for Peter Hansborough Bell, governor of the State of Texas.
